I’ve just sold 2 sibs. As usual I list things on several sites including eBay, gumtree and sites relevant to what I’m selling to maximise exposure. Both sibs genuinely sold via gumtree enquiries and so I pulled the eBay auctions to avoid all that goes with auction bidders. eBay are now trying to charge me £140, being 10% of the last bid before I cancelled the second auction on the Zodiac. Weirdly they didn’t charge me for cancelling the Yam 360s the week before. I’ve complained but has anyone else experienced this? Here’s a link explaining their charges https://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/end_early.html

Be careful posting the same worded adverts on eBay and gumtree they are linked (I believe the eBay group now own gumtree) and the gumtree add takes its viewers to eBay on the apps but the lister cannot see it doing this when your logged in or using their apps to view your listing, check your gumtree add from a pc and you will see!

Yes I know that I played the system and lost. It was unknown to me until now and was just a warning really for those who might not be aware of it and are on the other end of the kind of cash deal suggested in the recent what to buy thread.

Yes gumtree are owned by eBay now as I discovered from the photo urls: I hope the Auzzies that started it got to buy themselves new campervans!
